BP1960 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Basically it means that the council will lease the land to the club. The Council will therefore still "own" the land and receive a rent for it. It therefore benefits the community, be it Failsworth or the Borough in general. For example when you "buy" a house, if you pay a ground rent, it means that you own the bricks and mortar but that you only rent the land that the house stands on. When teams play on a pitch on say Clayton Playing fields, they "rent" the land for set times in the season. Thats why I believe that the stadium will be built on this part of the site and that the "add ons" will be on the Lancaster club part of the site. This information has been in the public domain for several months now, yet people do not seem to have picked up that the site will be partly owned and partly rented. If the council run the new stadium like they do Clayton playing fields I shudder to think how it will be maintained. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corporal_Jones Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 OK lets cut a deal. I'll stop if you do! Admittedly OWTB will be half what it is now, but hey I can live with it! No chance-haven't you heard that it's us keeping the club afloat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Dowds Green Shirt Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 If the council run the new stadium like they do Clayton playing fields I shudder to think how it will be maintained. Probably a bad example BP1960. Lets hope that our rent is as "competetive" but I think we'll do the maintenance rather than leave it with the Council. Memo to TTA/AH - Best make sure that a "club to carry out the maintenance" covenant is included in the Lease Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You clearly don't remember me on JKL. (Albeit it was under another username.) The renegades are always the most fanatical. Solzhenitsyn was once a Communist. Peter Hitchens was in the SWP.

Are you trying to say something about his sexuality? Are we signing SWP with the Richards money? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelaticsfan Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 shouldnt we keep hold of the land at BP then and "rent" the land to the council? I would as a safeguard in case they try and make us homeless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone knocks on my door asking for ground rent they'll get a short answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
